Create Objects from Walls

[Jim Smith]

I'm surprised that I can't find a thread for this. Presently to create say a reflected ceiling plan from Walls one must choose the walls, the Create a Polygons from the Walls, then with these Polygons chosen Create Objects from Polygons. Don't get me wrong, this extra process can be a helper, but generally this is an extra step. My Wish is to skip the intermediate step of having to create a polygon(s) & go directly from Walls to Creating Objects.

If you want to create:

- a 2D polygon use the paint bucket mode of the polygon tool (it works on Walls as well even though it doesn't say that in the Tool Tip).

- a slab use the paint bucket mode of the Slab tool (if you set your Slab Style first that is the Slab type that will be created).

 

The Space tool also has a paint bucket mode that works with walls.

Right, but that's my point this is a two step process. Either Selecting the walls & creating polygons or with the paint bucket you are creating Polygons from walls. Then you are producing Objects from Shapes. I want to go directly from walls to Objects & skip the middle step. 

 

Here's what you get when you select the walls & want to make a Ceiling Grid:
